The Grooveshark iPhone app is now available in the App Store, the company announced this week.

"We've been working laboriously on this app for a long time, and we are really excited to announce what we honestly feel to be one of the best mobile music apps in the market," the company wrote in a blog post.

Grooveshark for iPhone provides access to playlists, favorites, search, and the "play any song" feature. It also includes offline caching for Airplane Mode. The company is working on updates that will include multi-tasking, they said.

Also this week, Grooveshark released an update for its Android app, which will allow the app to start without any connectivity, and let users running Android 2.2 install or move the app to an SD card. Playlists also load more quickly and scrolling should be smoother, Grooveshark said.
